Abstract | Academic freedom and institutional autonomy are among the fundamental values of higher education. In Europe, they underpin the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), which was established in 1999, a decade after the launch of the profound changes in central and eastern Europe and slightly over two decades after the adoption of the Magna Charta Universitatum. While there was agreement that academic freedom and institutional autonomy are essential, there was relatively little discussion of what they entail. They were taken for granted, as was democracy. Discussions about academic freedom and institutional autonomy have resurged over the past few years, as concerns about the state of democracy have increased. In the United States, concern about academic freedom and institutional autonomy is also on the rise. These partly coincide with concerns about the state of democracy and the rule of law under the current administration but also antedate these. This brief report provides an overview of why academic freedom and institutional autonomy are essential to both democracy and the quality of education and research. While the basic principles are clear, there are at least as many gray zones as red lines. (ERIC). |
